Water in sun and shade

Big idea

We can compare the same material after sun and shade.

Words

• sunlight light from the Sun
• shade place sunlight does not reach directly
• warmer more warm
• cooler less warm

All words on the Word Wall

Talk together

• What did we keep the same?
• Which water feels warmer after the wait?
• What if both feel the same?

Get ready

• Two unbreakable cups, equal room-temperature water, tray and timer; adult checks sun/shade locations.

Safety

• A grown-up stays close. Never look at the Sun; use hats, sunscreen and shade breaks. The adult checks surfaces first; do not touch anything hot.
• A grown-up stays within reach of water. Use small amounts in shallow unbreakable trays, away from power; wipe spills and wash hands. Do not drink test water.

Story time

• Lassi, Ice-cream or Falooda?
